Quality, purity and standards

Remember that the cannabis plant absorbs contamination from both the soil and air very easily. Hemp is in fact considered a soil purifying plant for contaminated grounds. This means that when this plant is grown for human consumption, its location and growing conditions are of utmost importance.

Is the origin of the CBD known or could it have been purchased from a uncontrolled third party, possibly in Asia, where unwanted substances could have ended up in the final product due to addition or contamination?

Are there lab test certificates available, to verify the quality and composition of the product?

However, for those who use CBD on a daily basis, it’s important to know you are taking a safe, pure, contaminant free product. Why take unnecessary risks?

Is the product organic?

Have you seen proof of the fact that it does not contain traces of pesticides, soil contaminants, funghi or heavy metals?

Has it been produced in a professional lab where adequate safety measures have been taken (HACCP, GMP)?

Value for money?

CBD products seem expensive, but are they really?
